Chip designers use multiple forms of illustrations to present information of technical nature quickly and clearly. Illustrations
employed to mobilize human visual system ability to recognize trends, patterns and differences. Some forms of illustrations are
universally accepted. Data tables, plots, line charts, mechanical drawings can be used to communicate information to the general public.
Specialized diagram types (like UML) can be reused from software or system design practice. Such diagrams are capable of describing
complex structure or behavior and convey this information to the broad science and engineering community.

Like any other specific field of science / engineering -- chip designers developed own specialized visual language to communicate
complex ideas with clarity, precision and efficiency. Schematic symbols; timing, circuit, layout diagrams were originally developed
for paper medium, now migrated into electronic documentation. Many design tools exists to create illustrations and diagrams.
From generic to specialized. Some require freehand drawing skills, some perform automatic layout.

This talk is about ideas, principles and tools that would help you to create good diagrams.

The FOSSi Foundation is proud to announce Latch-Up, a conference dedicated to free and open source silicon to be held over the weekend of May 4th and 5th in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Latch-Up: a weekend of presentations and networking for the open source digital design community, much like its European sister conference ORConf.
